(Alliance News) - Reach PLC on Tuesday said it is confident in delivering full-year profit ahead of market expectations despite ongoing digital sales weakness.
The London-based publisher of Daily Mirror and Express newspapers pointed to the resilient performance of its print business and continued cost control, alongside strategic progress.
As a result, Reach said it expects to deliver adjusted operating profit for 2025 ahead of current market expectations of GBP99.1 million. This would still be down from GBP102.3 million reported in 2024.
Digital revenue is expected to be 1% lower than the prior year's GBP130.0 million, reflecting a "material reduction" in Google referral volumes, alongside continued macroeconomic weakness.
Shares in Reach rose 5.9% to 57.40 pence each in London on Tuesday.
Results for the financial year ended December will be announced on March 3.
